VThe present invention relais-estor improvements in pliers and its particular object is toipropvide a pair of pliers particularly 'de-,jY

signed for removing the-cord 'from theinsi-de 5 of Aa tire when the latteris to be repaired.

For lthis operation thefindividual layers. of

y eordarefusually removed one afterthe other, the removed section of eachsuocessiveflayer being'somewhat smaller Vthan that of its ante-k n 10 cedent, so asto allow fthe patch to be' firmly anchored inthe successivelayers.l i To remove a section of the cord 1t is 'customary togdivide' a section by'cutting faroundlthe'same with aV met 'with the face 8' of the 'teeth eralongja knife especially prepare'd'tofcu'ltto the depth i5 ofone cord onlya'nd to: thereafter small Vportions only alongthecut line bymeans ofa -suitable'tooland to pull o the said section.

flMy pliers areY designed tor facilitatel the latter operation and provide inrcombination 2o y means for lifting the edge of thev cut. section and means for gripping the liftededgeand for'prying and pulling a stripr the'section.
